Gynecomastia surgery in Delhi NCR

Symptoms and signs

• Fullness or a firm, button-like lump under one or both nipples
• Breast tenderness or soreness
• A rounded or soft chest even with a lean body
• One side larger than the other
• Self-consciousness in fitted clothes or when swimming

Causes and risk factors

• Hormone changes, such as puberty or ageing
• Some medicines, steroids and recreational substances
• Certain health conditions, for example liver, kidney or thyroid problems
• Weight gain that adds fat to the chest (pseudogynecomastia)
• In many people no clear cause is found

How a doctor assesses it

A doctor asks about your health and medicines, then examines the chest to tell gland tissue from fat. Depending on what they find, they may advise blood tests or an ultrasound. The aim is to confirm the type, look for a cause that needs its own treatment, and rule out other conditions before planning surgery.

Who may need it

Surgery is usually considered for adults whose enlargement has settled and still bothers them, after causes have been checked. In younger people doctors often wait. Whether you are suitable is decided by the surgeon after an examination.

Treatment options

What the procedure involves

Your surgeon examines you, explains the technique and decides, with the anaesthetist, the type of anaesthesia. The operation removes fat, gland tissue or both, and the cuts are closed with stitches. Some people go home the same day; others stay briefly.

Removed tissue may be sent for laboratory testing. You will usually wear a compression garment and have follow-up visits to check healing.

Recovery

• Swelling, bruising and tightness are common at first
• A compression garment is often advised for a period
• Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are limited until your surgeon allows them
• Follow-up visits check healing and stitches
• The final shape appears gradually as swelling settles

Everyone heals differently. Follow your own surgeon's instructions.

Risks

• Bleeding or a collection of blood or fluid under the skin
• Infection
• Uneven contour, asymmetry or lumpiness
• Changes in nipple or skin sensation
• Visible scars
• Needing a second procedure to refine the result
• Risks linked to anaesthesia

Your surgeon will explain which risks matter most for you. No result can be guaranteed.

Cost and payment

The cost of gynecomastia treatment depends on your case and cannot be fixed without a medical assessment. These are the main things that change it:

• The technique used: liposuction, gland removal or both
• How much tissue needs to be treated
• The hospital or day-care centre and the room type
• The surgeon's and anaesthetist's fees
• Tests and scans before surgery
• Medicines, dressings and follow-up visits
• Whether you pay in cash, use EMI or claim insurance

Our team explains your options for cash, EMI and insurance, helps you compare packages and handles insurance paperwork. Try the EMI calculator to plan your payments. Insurance cover depends on your policy and insurer, and approval cannot be promised.

Questions to ask your surgeon

• What type of gynecomastia do I have, and what is likely causing it?
• Do I need any tests first?
• Is surgery advised now, or should I wait?
• Where will the scars be?
• Who will perform my procedure, and how often have they done it?
• What are the risks for me and how are complications handled?
• What is the full cost, in writing, and what does it include?

Check that any doctor is registered, for example on the National Medical Commission register or with the state medical council.
